Dosimetric comparison of computed tomography-guided iodine-125 seed implantation assisted with and without three-dimensional printing non-coplanar template in locally recurrent rectal cancer: a propensity score matching study.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo compare post-implant dosimetric parameters of computed tomography (CT)-guided radioactive iodine-125 ( MATERIAL AND
methodsOne hundred and fifty-five LRRC patients treated by CT-guided RIS implantation assisted with or without 3D-PNCT from October 2003 to May 2019 were included in this study. Propensity score matching (PSM) method (1 : 1) was used to adjust for differences between the 3D-group (with 3D-PNCT) and the CT-group (without 3D-PNCT). After PSM, dosimetric parameters [D
resultsAfter PSM, 45 pairs of matched cases were selected for analysis and differences in variables between the two groups were balanced. For the 3D-group, median values of D
conclusions3D-PNCT can improve the accuracy of radioactive seed implantation by increasing the dose delivered to the tumor and reducing the number of "cold" spots of dose.
